Early voting resumes this week for Coloradans who prefer casting their ballots at a polling place in this year's general election but who don't want to wait until Nov. 6, Election Day itself, to vote.

Early polling-place voting began last Monday. It ends this coming Friday.

Last week, Boulder County provided two early-voting locations. Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall and her staff reported on Saturday morning that 3,405 people had voted at those sites through Friday, including 1,139 in Longmont and 2,266 in Boulder.

This week, Boulder County will offer six early-voting locations -- three in Boulder, two in Longmont and one in Lafayette.

Weld County provided five early-voting sites last week. Deputy Weld County clerk Olive Richter reported that 3,597 of her county's voters had cast ballots at those early-voting polling places as of late Friday afternoon. Weld will operate the same five early-voting locations this week.

Meanwhile, Colorado county clerks are continuing to receive completed ballots from voters who've asked that blank ballots be sent to them in the mail.

Boulder County, which has thus far distributed 138,014 mail ballots, had gotten 43,999 voted ballots back through Friday, Hall reported.

In Weld County, which has issued 92,063 mail ballots, by Friday afternoon the clerk's office had received 30,812 completed ballots that voters had dropped off or mailed back, Richter said.

It's not too late for Coloradans to request mail ballots, if they'd rather fill them out at home or work or somewhere else, instead of having to personally show up at an early-voting or Election Day polling place.

But time is running out to ask for mail ballots. Tuesday is the last day to request mail ballots if voters want their county clerks to send them their blank ballots in the mail. After that, voters still can get a blank ballot, but they'll have to pick it up in person, and they'll have to do it by the close of business on Friday.

Filled-out mail ballots have to be in the possession of county clerks by 7 p.m. Nov. 6. An exception is ballots being cast by members of the military service stationed outside the state, or Coloradans temporarily living overseas. Those overseas and military voters' absentee ballots have to be sent by 7 p.m. Nov. 6 and in their county clerks' possession by Nov. 14.

The U.S. Postal Service is returning some mail ballots to county clerks "undeliverable." That's typically because the Postal Service finds that the person the ballot package is addressed to no longer lives at that address, and the person has failed to cancel or change that voter-registration information. The Postal Service cannot forward those blank ballots to the person's new address, under a state law intended to ensure that only qualified voters participate in an election.

By Friday afternoon, Weld County had gotten 1,448 blank mail ballots back as undeliverable. Boulder County had gotten more than 2,700 undeliverable ballots back.

The Colorado Secretary of State's Office reported on Friday morning that -- based on tallies from Colorado's 64 county clerks at that point -- more than 626,000 Coloradans had already returned their completed ballots or had voted in person at early-voting polling places.

Most people don't play guitar like Grayson Erhard does. That's because most people can't play guitar like he does. The guitarist for Fort Collins' Aspen Hourglass often uses a difficult two-hands-on-the-fretboard technique that Eddie Van Halen first popularized but which players such as Erhard have developed beyond pop-rock vulgarity.
